Daily Update: In defeat, Padres pitchers stingy; notes, minors

For all questions of baseball history, the first source a writer turns to is the Elias Sports Bureau in New York.

Robert Diamond of Elias uncovered this gem for last weekend’s three-game Padres-Dodgers series in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers swept the three games despite getting only 12 hits in the series.

Allowing a combined 12 hits and being swept in a three-game series hadn’t happened in the major leagues since 1966 when the Chicago White Sox took three from Washington in September despite getting just 12 hits off the Senators.

As if Padres fans weren’t already suffering enough.

The Daily Five (Notes, Stats and Numbers)

--While the Padres run of 22 straight innings without a run – halted by C Rob Johnson’s third inning homer Sunday – was the longest of the season, it wasn’t the longest by much. Earlier this season, the Padres had scoreless innings streaks of 21, 18 and 17 innings.

--RHP Tim Stauffer issued five walks Sunday, including three straight to open the third to trigger the Dodgers decisive two-run inning. The five walks not only equaled Stauffer’s career high (previously on Sept. 23, 2009), they topped his total of three over his previous four starts. By the way, Stauffer is 4-2 over his last seven starts with a 1.50 ERA lowering his ERA from 3.99 to 2.97.

--LF Ryan Ludwick is not helping the Padres get top dollar from other teams. He finished the first half in a 5-for-35 slump with one double, one homer, four RBI and 12 strikeouts in his last nine starts. Ludwick has struck out at least once in 12 straight games.

--CF Cameron Maybin finished the first half going 3-for-20 in the Padres five-game losing streak, although he did have the Padres lone hit Saturday night.

--CF Blake Tekotte has been named the Player of the Week in the Double-A Texas League. Tekotte, who was with the Padres for 11 games earlier this season, went 12-for-26 last week for San Antonio with three doubles, five homers, eight RBI, eight runs scored and two steals.
